The Matses Americans have long whiskers attached to their faces whereas the Matis have short whiskers. The world came into contact with this tribe in the 1970's and it is believed that they are the only people who follow the tradition of adding whiskers to the face. The tribe believe that the human body is not complete at birth, but becomes so when ornaments have been added to the body.

RIKBAKTSA
The Rikbaktsa tribe of Brazil are known for their piercings. With each new piercing one would get, their name would change. Furthermore, for every animal they hunted their ears would get stretched bigger.
